New Gaming Motherboard

Hello,

 

I am looking for a new motherboard for a gaming build. My budget for the board is around 150$. I am looking for a white and black build, the board should fit into that. I want to overclock an 6600K on that board.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Greetings

Marcel

My friend had some really troubles with the Asus support. Did you experience the same if you have ever used it?

Nope, I bought it only a few days ago and luckily I've not experienced any problem xD

You can look for the Asus Prime Z270 line or the new Gigabyte motherboards (the Z270X Gaming 7 for example), but I don't know what the prices will be

What do you think about the MSI Krait Gaming or the AsRock Extreme 4? The AsRock Killer seems solid aswell.

They are all good brands so you're fine with everything you get, I'd personally choose the Asrock over the MSI just because I had one of their boards in my previous PC and it never had had a problem
